Fall and winter give buyers more negotiating power
Homebuyers with children tend to abandon their homebuying plans by August because they want to be settled before school starts. National housing data shows that August and September tend to have the most drastic price reductions of any time during the year, Hale says.

Although there’s less inventory in the fall than in the spring, buyers can often get better deals on what is available. Fall is a last-ditch opportunity for sellers to close on their homes before the end of the year. And with fewer buyers coming through the door, sellers tend to price their homes more aggressively to get buyers’ attention, says Bill Gassett, a real estate agent with Re/Max Executive Realty in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

Aside from nabbing a better price, you might also score more flexible terms in the fall, such as an extended closing time, or home inspection repairs or credits, Gassett says. The longer a home sits on the market, too, the more willing a seller will be to negotiate, he says.”
